Move over Victoria, Gerri and Mel B! It's Baby Spice's turn to be a mom! People has confirmed that former Spice girl, Emma Buton, is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jade Jones. The couple have been together for eight years and Jade, 27, is a former member of the British band, Damage.

"I guess I will be handing over the 'Baby' tag now to a deserving little new owner," Emma, 31, said in a statement. The sex of the baby and the due date were not released. The couple said, "We are so happy, it's unbelievable news. What a great start to the New Year."

This is great news for Bunton - who was probably doubting anything like this would ever happen. In 2000, she had pre-cancerous cells removed from her cervix. Last year, she was diagnosed with endometriosis. The disease is a painful condition and can lead to infertility. 

In December, she told the U.K.'s The Mirror that she hoped to have a baby of her own, but feared she might not be able. "Obviously I'd like to try for my own first," she said. "But I would be open to adoption."
